Question/s about AOS

[eillora 0]

The answer to this is in the I-864 instructions, page 8:

"If you were not required to file a Federal income tax return under U.S. tax law because your income was too low, attach a written explanation. If you were not required to file a Federal income tax return under U.S. tax law for any other reason, attach a written explanation including evidence of the exemption and how you are subject to it".

So your Husband needs to write a note and indicate in the income section, on the I-864, that is attaching an explanation, something like:

I only had SSI income, which is non-taxable and therefore I was not required to file a tax return in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

I guess I must have missed this documentation. Many thanks.

May I know why would this be a good idea? Will he be asked questions too?

Because it shows that he is willing to go to the effort & expense to be there in support of you.

Also, if he is there and the IO is on the fence about your relationship then they will have the chance to speak to him and even see the two of you together.

Thank you for this. This is a good suggestion.

Hi Rob and Jill. Is this SSI or SSDI? But thanks for the advice. I shall ask him of it.

Hers is Social Security Disability as her breast cancer is considered terminal, although she has been cancer free for two years!
